2015 Audiobook Challenge

Hot Listens/2015 Audiobook Challenge
I enjoyed this challenge last year and   Hot Listens  and The Book Nympho are hosting it again.  Go on over there to check the full details out. It is very well run - gotta love that about a challenge.

The challenge is to outdo yourself from the previous year, and as I made it up to 20 last year I am going up to the next level.

Binge Listener 20 - 30 audiobooks
At this point in time that seems a little ambitious, however hoping I will surprise myself!

First Quarter:

1.  One Plus One.   Jojo Moyes
2.  The Rosie Effect    Graeme Simsion
3.  Dark Witch         Nora Roberts
4.  Ten Tiny Breaths    K. A. Tucker

7.  Trust No One   Jayne Ann Krentz

I am very on track, and very happy with how many audiobooks so far.

End of Year Summary
I have listened to more than I thought. Taking on a little extra walking has led to more books listened to. Had so many that I loved, didn't really have any that didn't work for me. The ones that seem memorable at this time are:

 Looking For Me    Beth Hoffman Narrator:

  6. I loved The Others series by Anne Bishop and The Martian by Andy Weir too. Great job with your goals and getting extra walking in too. Two for the price of one. :-) Keep listening.
